Bob is not happy about JSR-94, the Java Rule Engine API. You can read his full comments online. 4:26:34 PM  comment []      Woohoo! According to Apple Store, my copy of Jaguar just shipped. [The Desktop Fishbowl] Man, how long did that take? I ordered mine on Tuesday last week and had it in my hands by last Thursday (48 hours later). 3:15:57 PM  comment []      Greek govt bans all computer games - this is quite insane. 2:13:14 PM  comment []      Niel Eyde's Weblog is another blog about Java, J2EE and Open Source (oh, and the Buccaneers). He's running on Russell Beattie's Miniblog code. 12:31:36 PM  comment []      Ray Ozzie replied to Joel's platforms piece, and Joel replied again. It's fascinating to read the 'behind the scenes thinking' of people like this. [Joel on Software] 12:08:21 PM  comment []      As if you couldn't get enough, Henri Yandell (of Apache and Jakarta Commons fame - bio) has a blog called bayard, great stuff! (But then again if you were subscribed to the java.blogs feed you would already know that ) 11:57:15 AM  comment []      James was looking for an RSS feed of all the Java and J2EE Weblogs, so I made one for your aggregatin' pleasure! (I should have thought of this idea myself - doh! ) Subscribing makes it easy to stay in touch with the latest Java blogs as they pop up. BTW does anyone know if OPML is more suited for this? I looked but you can't 'subscribe' to an OPML feed, because it's not so much a feed as a directory? (which is not very useful for this purpose) 11:43:41 AM  comment []      And another blog - Miceda is Dave Bryson rambling about the web, Velocity, Webwork, Pnuts and other things in his quest to build the ultimate really cool CMS in Java. 11:06:19 AM  comment []      Added another java.blog to the list, Kief.com's Syslog and aggregated into my daily reading - some great Java content here! For example I agree completely with his post on Sun vs Open Source standards: The problem is that Sun is in a frenzy to make sure there are Java standards to cover everything under the, err, sun, so they're turning out a lot of garbage standards. Meanwhile the open source community is cranking out their own solutions developed from experience in the trenches, and these are increasingly diverging from the party line. JSP sucks, EJB is generally unnecessary, the Sun logging standard totally ignores the battle-tested log4j, and the list is growing. 10:59:28 AM  comment []
